Every time I watch Amity's siblings summon that human soul trapped in a cat body, all I can think of is the bit from My Brother, My Brother, and Me where one of the brothers asks "Would you rather have a cat with a human face or a dog with human hands instead of paws?"

My favorite episode of the show. Especially the dance fight.

Not me watching this five hours before my own halloween themed prom where i'm going to as a non straight partner duo...Wish me luck! Edit: Not life partners. just prom partner friend who i find cute Edit 2: College prom, not highschool, i'm not american so we copy the consept of american prom whenever we feel like it

Gonna blow your mind a bit (as it did mine). Pay attention to where Catra's knee ends up in that dip.

Sarah

In line with what Montana's been saying, I feel like her announcing that her greatest fear is her dad with absolutely no hesitation explains SO much about her haha. Sorry you've had to deal with that Montana, that shits rough ❤

Angsty.Lesbian.Cat

I agree. Catradora’s was the gayest. I mean, there’s The Dip, and how close Catra and Adora’s faces were.

I find the emoji discussion super interesting because it's rapidly a way to tell your age too. People of different generations use different emojis and use existing ones in different ways.

Eda really is the best at collecting random outcast children and just basically adopting them. King seems to no really have a family and now Luz has just turned up in her realm. Love that found family!

I've heard Alt Prom before or Anti-Prom.

lowkey, Emoji's get a bad rap because they get overused in weird ways, but they are actually a pretty good supplement for tone, something which is consistently hard to parse when reading text based communication. And yes I absolutely use emoji's with my parents. So do they.

Maybe somebody can comment on this! Two years ago, I though after reading the title and before seeing the episode that GROM would be short form of "gay prom". Is that a common term?

Retied

Guys thank you for the fan service! You two look great in these outfits. It suits the topic of the episode so well.

Retied

This is my greatest fear for sure.

TOH watchers, For The Future got leaked as a whole, be wary of spoilers until release.

I've seen this episode more times than I've attended a school dance. Now that I think of it, that was true the first time I watched it.

Here’s the secret coded message poem after this episode: two witches torn apart now alone two hearts of stone a curse of feathers and [mud]

Yeah, Kataang was my first ship, before shipping was even a term, and that dance was the first time we got any real indication that Katara was developing feelings for Aang, so it’ll always have a special place in my heart! And them using some bending moves as dance moves was a great touch! Catradora’s was the most tense/intense of the three, and prior to Season 5 it was one of the biggest indicators of their deeper feelings for each other, but it was also the shortest of the dances and it was broken up with partner changes. Lumity’s was incredible because of the animation quality, the fancy dance moves with magic, plus the two of them working together and combining their magics to defeat the monster and create that beautiful tree! And then the reveal right afterwards!

Jenny D

All those kids in the hallway after King’s pandering: Oh, wow, sports!

Jenny D

My lone issue with Luz’s outfit is that her boots are brown but her jacket is black. I don’t even think it would be an issue for me if it was the other way around—brown jacket and black boots. Now that I think about it, I have the same issue with her school uniform. Every single student has black shoes of varying styles to go with their black cowls, but Luz still wears her white shoes.

Jenny D

15:16 The blush counter’s gonna go crazy this episode. *1x17 has entered the chat*

kai

well there's 21 eps in season 2, so i always assumed they wanted the extra episode in s2 to fit more story

Jenny D

The intro doesn’t change this season, but the outro for episode 19 has a minor change at the very end! Also there’s only 19 episodes in season 1, which is a random number. I never learned why.

Jenny D

Plus I’m convinced that Dana came up with the name for the monster by literally just making a portmanteau of “gay prom.” Or possibly “gay Prometheus” but I’m leaning more towards the first thing.

Jenny D

Alright, got my favorite lunch, got my Hot Topic Grom T-Shirt on, I’m as ready as I can possibly be for this one!

Valentina M

You both look great!

Chelly

The Owl House absolutely has the gayer prom, I mean they animated that whole dance way too smoothly 😂 Luz and Amity were both giving each other this look 😏 while in She Ra it was only Catra that was doing it. Yes I know this from memory. Amity also actually revealed her crush on Luz this episode (to the viewers), unlike in She Ra where Catra and Adora’s feelings weren’t outright stated by anyone until the very last season

I say the owl house is a gayer prom because amity never admitted her feelings yet the two had a date anyways (or damn close to one)

Stegosaurus Fan

That's always been my thought as well. Still not great, but makes sense. If you're fighting something that becomes your fear, a kid with a weaker fear is gonna fare better than an adult with something deadlier or more complex. Tho I am super curious what Bump fears enough to not just do it himself.

pineapplegreg

I just finished the first season, I can't wait until y'all get there!!!

HamHamJ

I'll say this in Bump's defense: You could make the argument that a child's greatest fear is more likely to be something embarrassing but mostly harmless, and they have more potential to overcome their fears.

Bazil

The reason Luz's mom did not pick up on the letters being weird was exactly because they are weird. Keep in mind that Luz is a bit weird in general. She probably wrote it off as Luz being quirky

Steven

Montana, if you like observing parental relations, y’all should give Steven Universe a watch! ☺️

khnadnn

Amazing reaction, and dropped ON MY 23RD BIRFDAY :)) Glad to be here with you guys, it's time to slay

Jenny D

That’s actually a really great theory and my new headcanon!

emelsi

I always feel so bad for poor Ed in this one, Em is SO MEAN

Suplee215

Love this episode. My theory on the sending kids to fight the big fear demon is complicated. First off, this is a action adventures with kids and a common tropes is kids do dangerous tasks and are seen as capable by adults (look at aang and company fighting a war). Second I think while the fears of kids can get deep and extreme that the fears of adults are much worse. Like imagine if an adult did it and saw their entire family die from the fear demon. I also think there are backup plans that aren't fully said. But with how easily eda was going to step in I won't be shocked if Bump and other teachers will be ready too too. But I think they don't do that every year be cause the more you fight grom the more it can read you and learn to fight you. Still heavily irresponsible but kids being in danger is part of the genre and thus show seems more aware of that than others

Jenny D

You guys both look stunning! 🤩

Mya

I haven't watched the reaction yet as I'm about to get my first laser hair removal treatment. However...oh my god Montana is absolutely gorgeous and Kenny you look fine as hell 😍
